Mysore: The pristine Karanji Lake, surrounded by a Nature Park, Butterfly Park and a walk-through aviary, is facing the threat of lake breach thanks to heavy rains lashing the city, especially atop the Chamundi Hill, the main source of water to the picturesque Lake. Sensing the threat, Mysuru Zoo authorities are on 24/7 vigil to prevent the Lake bund from breaking and water overflowing.
Till recently, the Lake was bone dry and water filled up only after Oct. 5 when it rained heavily atop the Chamundi Hill. The Lake filled up only last week, regaining its glory and tourists flocked the green precincts to enjoy boat rides.
